Exercise During Pregnancy: Safe, Strong, and Beneficial

Exercise is one of the best things you can do for yourself and your baby during pregnancy. At WomanCare Centers in Norfolk, VA, we encourage expectant mothers to stay active safely—with movements tailored to each trimester and fitness level.

Why It Matters:
✅Boosts circulation and energy
✅Reduces back pain, swelling, and discomfort
✅Supports healthy weight gain and lowers risk of gestational diabetes
✅Improves mood, sleep, and labor outcomes

Safe & Recommended:
🚶‍♀️Walking and swimming
🧘‍♀️Prenatal yoga
🚲Stationary cycling
🏋️‍♀️Light strength training

Avoid:
Contact sports, high-risk activities, overheating, or lying flat on your back after the first trimester.

Always check with your OB/GYN before starting or changing your exercise routine. Staying active is one of the most powerful ways to prepare your body—and your mind—for a healthy pregnancy and delivery.
